Kill or Keep

Chapter 4- The Man in the Mask

"Well, I'm dead." I mumbled to myself. I take another way to my house instead of the regular way I go home because Hollywood Undead decided to be there. When I'm walking by an alleyway, something grabs my arm. "Not again." I thought to myself. I look up to see who held my arm and I thought it was going to be Matt but it was a man in a grey and white mask. He looked like one of those drama masks. The ones that are the happy and mad mask but on his mask one side has the happy side and the other side has the angry side with an orange color that looks like a vein or something. He looks about to be my age. I was about to scream until a hand covers my mouth. "Be quiet or else I'll kill you." The man in the mask says coldly. His voice sounds familiar but I can't think of where I heard that voice because I'm too scared. He removes his hand from covering my mouth. "Now why would someone like you be walking around at this time and in the rain?" The person asks me. "I-I was staying after school to help my art teacher and I l-lost track of time so now I'm walking home." I lied because no one needs to know where I was especially some masked person. "You sure that you aren't lying to me? I don't like people who are lying to me." The masked person asks me coldly. "No, I'm not lying. Can I leave now?" I ask the masked person. "I guess." The masked person replies. He lets go of my arm and before I leave, the person in the mask whispers, "See you soon Beatrice." And he walks away. "How does he know my name?" I question myself. I just push the thought aside and start walking home. Once I get to my house, I unlock the door and walk inside. My parents are never home because they are dead. I go to my room and get ready for bed. I take a shower and get dressed in my pj's. Once I get out of the bathroom, I go and lay down on my bed and I quickly go to sleep.
